The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has called on the Police, particularly the Inspector General, Kayode Egbetokun, to weed out bad officers from the force.
This was as he pledged the full cooperation and support of the National Assembly for better policing of Nigeria.
Akpabio said this at the maiden edition of the Nigeria Police Awards and Commendations Ceremony held on Monday evening in Abuja.
The Senate President commended the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the entire leadership of the Nigeria Police Force for organising the event and urged them to use the occasion to celebrate the achievements of the Nigeria Police Force and to reiterate the commitment to working together for a safer and more secured Nigeria.
He stated, “I commend the Police for this maiden effort in organising this awards ceremony. It is a testament to IGP Egbetokun’s commitment to giving honour to whom it is due.
“By recognising the gallant, selfless and patriotic contributions of individual officers, we not only motivate them for higher performance but also reinforce the new policing agenda of the Force.
